3. k Solving an inequality means finding values for the variable that make the inequality true. k You can solve inequalities by using the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Inequalities (pg. 345) This is the same concept as using the Addition/Subtraction Properties of Equations (Lesson 3-3 pgs. 110-111) k Solving an inequality means finding values for the variable that make the inequality true. k You can solve inequalities by using the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Inequalities (pg. 345) This is the same concept as using the Addition/Subtraction Properties of Equations (Lesson 3-3 pgs. 110-111)

4. Example 1: Solving an Inequality using Subtraction Solve -13  9 + b Check your solution Write the inequality: -13  9 + b Subtract 9 from each side: -13  9 + b -9 -9 Simplify: -22  b or b  -22 To check your solution, try any number less than or equal to -22 Check using -22: -13  9 + (-22) -13  -13  Check: using -30 -13  9 + -30 -13  -21  Check using -20: -13  9 + -20 -13  -11

5. Example 2: Solving an Inequality using Addition Solve a - 5  6 Check your solution Write the inequality: a - 5  6 Add 5 to both sides: a - 5  6 +5 +5 Simplify: a  11 Check your result by using any number greater than 11 Check using 12: 12 - 5  6 7  6  Check using 32: 32 - 5  6 27  6  Check using 7: 7 - 5  6 2  6

6. Example 3: Graph Solutions of Inequalities Solve h + 4  4 Then graph the solution on a number line. Write the inequality: h + 4  4 Subtract 4 from each side: h + 4  0 - 4 -4 h  0 The solution is h  0 Check: any number greater than 0 I’m using 1 1 + 4  4 5  4  Now graph the solution On a number line. Done on board in class.

7. Example 4: Use an Inequality to Solve a Problem Chris is saving money for a ski trip. He has $62.50, but his goal is to save at least $100. What is the least amount Chris needs to save to reach his goal? Explore: We need to find the least amount Chris needs to save Plan: Let x represent the amount he needs to save. Write an inequality to represent the problem. Remember at least means greater than or equal to. x + 62.50  100 Solve: x + 62.50  100 - 62.50 -62.50 x  37.50 So the least amount that Chris needs to save is $37.50
